SETI@home ("SETI at home") is a grid computing (distributed computing in the project's own terminology) project using Internet-connected computers, hosted by the Space Sciences Laboratory, at the University of California, Berkeley, in the United States. SETI is an acronym for the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence.

Scientific Research


The goal of SETI@home is to detect intelligent life outside Earth. SETI@home searches for possible evidence of radio transmissions from extraterrestrial intelligence using data from the Arecibo radio telescope. The software searches for four signals:
  • Spikes in power spectra,
  • Gaussian rises and falls in transmission power, possibly representing the telescope beam's main lobe passing over a radio source,
  • Triplets — three power spikes in a row,
  • pulsing signals that possibly represent a narrowband digital-style transmission.

The process is somewhat like tuning a radio to various channels, and looking at the signal strength meter. If the strength of the signal goes up, that gets attention. More technically, it involves a lot of digital signal processing, mostly discrete Fourier transforms at various chirp rates and durations.
